Re: Ivy Heroes ?
I do fairly regular searches for 'Gant Hagger' as well as thing like 'huggee', 'hugget', 'huggef' and 'hugge'. All standard typos but I've never seen one called a 'huggen'. I can only imagine they have misread the script on the label and thought the 'r was an 'n'. I'll look out for that typo in future too.
Here's hoping you get the weather to wear it a few times this Summer.

In case anyone's not tuned into it... there's a near deadstock oxford blue hugger on etsy right now in sz 15, looks to be an orig. '60s label.

I'm going for Sidney Poitier reinforced with a soundtrack by Quincy Jones.

Re: Ivy Heroes ?
^That's an unfortunate looking shirt. A big 70's tab collar and a really ugly tonal awning stripe. That's a double whammy of ugliness. Just my opinion, of course.

Re: Ivy Heroes ?
I'm liking the shirt Oliver. Have you tried it with a tie yet?
I've bought a couple of tab collar shirts and I found that due to clearance problems that you can only use a really thin tie or the tab chokes you when you do it up! In fact one of them, a vintage make that I can't recall right now, is so restrictive you could just about wear a bootlace for a tie and I'm thinking of cutting the tabs off!

Re: Ivy Heroes ?
I mostly wear tabbed club collars when I get suited up... I'd say half of my shirt racks are tabbed and I have a handful of custom-made & several mto oxfords from Claudio at DNA which are just as exceptional and cost a whole lot less! This is my first ivy tabbed shirt and I haven't gotten it yet, but I'd pair it with a thin blue rooster knit and sweater. Most of my ties are btwn 2-3" so it's not a problem for me, but agree that you're usually better off thinner and less heavy with tabbed collars.
